Food scene
Our favourite restaurants and cafes within walking distance from our cottage.
Cicc is a St Kilda institution. Lovely lesbians and friends who are quick with a joke (don't be a tosser here or they will cut you down to size in a second!!). Excellent Italian food, homestyle pastas etc with attnetion to detail re their fresh ingredients and service. One of our favourite places. Check out their back bar too, for a lovely cocktail or two.

Beautiful cafe with a lovely outdoor balcony setting that is perfect on a warm day. Popular with the locals for good reason, the food and coffee is always top notch and the service is consistently very good. Gets very busy on the weekends at lunchtime, so arrive early for a good seat. Dog friendly (Frankie is the resident Dachshund)
